Far and away the best giant monster movie so far...

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2013)

The reviewer is concerned by the lack of hype this epic received.
Pro's:
1. Seamless and Excellent special effects.
2. Great pacing and expanding scope.
3. Appropriate mix of action and plot.
4. Integrated character development and story line.
Con's: (none really, but to be critical...)
1. No real meta-narrative (beside the 'teamwork' ethic). This is no Blade Runner people.
2. The Duel-pilot plot device was perhaps overstated at the beginning, though followed through nicely as the film progressed.
3. Kind of awkward acting in parts, and the Aussie accents were a little overdone.
4. Casting was par for course
Overall an Excellent film, and as stated in the header, the reviewer believes this is far and away the best giant mech-warrior / monster movie made to date. (That is until we have a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion!)
Will watch again.
BRAVO!
8/10
